COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Test

This test is for patients who are symptomatic for COVID-19 or have had a recent exposure to SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus. This test may be helpful if you:

• Currently have symptoms of fever, cough, shortness of breath, and/or loss of taste or smell. Other less common symptoms may include tiredness, body or muscle aches, headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, sore throat, and/or runny or stuffy nose.
• Live or work in a place where people reside, meet, or gather in proximity (this can include healthcare settings, homeless shelters, assisted living facilities, group homes, prisons, detention centers, schools, and workplaces).
• Have been in close contact with someone who has a confirmed case of COVID-19.
• Your employer, public health department, contact investigator, or healthcare provider has identified you as someone who should get tested.
• You are visiting a place that requires testing prior to arrival. This testing can also be used to identify individuals who do not have symptoms of COVID-19 or have no known exposure to SARS-CoV-2, but who are unknowingly infected.
• You are trying to determine if a prior infection with COVID-19 has resolved.
